Five Tips to Affordable Boston

A trip to Boston doesn’t have to be pricey. Sure, there are lots of upscale hotels and restaurants available to help you indulge in a bit of luxury, but Boston also offers a number of inexpensive ways to enjoy the city. Remember: saving a few dollars lets you do more while you’re there! Let’s take a look at five great Boston bargains:

Take the T: The trip from Logan Airport into Boston doesn’t have to be expensive and lengthened by a traffic jam. Take the subway (called the “T”). You can get on at the airport by taking a shuttle bus to the subway station, and then ride it into the city. You’ll be on the Blue Line, and there’s only one stop before you reach downtown.

Pizza: There’s plenty of pizza throughout Boston, and everyone has a favorite. Of course, some of those famous shops in the North End can get a little pricey. Instead, head over to Haymarket Pizza for an enormous slice. Bring cash, and brace yourself: each slice will set you back $1.50 ($2 for one topping, $2.50 for two toppings). And, it’s good. Seriously.

See it all, FREE: To really take in the entire city, walk the Freedom Trail. It’s two and a half miles long and stops at 16 major national historic sites and takes you through five neighborhoods. The best part is that you’ll discover other stuff to check out in Boston between the stops, making the Freedom Trail a great way to discover your own off-the-beaten-path spots in Boston.

The cheapest boat ride: When you are finished with the Freedom Trail at Boston Common, cross the street to the Boston Public Garden and ride a Swan Boat. A 15-minute jaunt will only set you back $2.75 ($1.50 for kids).

The best views: The two best views of Boston look right at each other. Start at Rowe’s Wharf in Boston, right on the Charles River. You’ll recognize it from just about every television shot you’ve seen of Boston. From there, you can catch the water taxi to Logan Airport, in East Boston. It will only set you back $10, and you’ll have incredible views all the way to East Boston, where you’ll be able to take in the entire Boston waterfront.
